WizeGuy Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm struggling to support Beane's decision to draft Allen over Rosen. I hope I'm wrong. What say you FF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Yes. They need to get some pieces around him though. The Bills skill players are horrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Maybe. Maybe not. He's got the ability, but he also needs some work...and probably some time. Neither of which he may get a lot of there. He may also be walking into a pretty bleak surrounding talent situation. Not just in the skill positions, but potentially in what i understand of the coaching situation as well. They've got what...a defensive-minded HC, an OC who has mostly led abysmal offenses in the NFL? And a QB coach who is actually a WRs coach? Not exactly confidence inspiring for a guy coming out as raw as Allen. Probably my least favourite of the "likely" landing spots for Allen to really find success...but we'll see what he's made of i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jags Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Within the next 4 years? No. I don't believe he'll be able to fix all the flaws and become a Franchise QB within the next 4 years and play at a consistently high level. Year 5 and beyond are dependent on the consistency around him (staff, coaching, players) and his work ethic on fixing any mechanical flaws and inconsistencies.

AlNFL19 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 If they throw him in early and he has to play NE/MIN/GB/JAX year one, I doubt it. I think that would shred his confidence. In general, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I hope he does, but I wouldn't bet on it. He's not as bad a prospect some of his staunchest detractors claimed he was, but I don't think he'll grow into a player who will be able to reliably keep the team competitive year after year.

SteelKing728 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 He could be, but I doubt it'll be with this coaching staff. He's going to need the system catered to him like it is for Goff in LA or Trubisky in Chi for him to be successful I think. He's a talented player, but physical talent only gets you so far. Hopefully McCarron can carry the team the majority of the year and Allen isn't rushed in. Heck, I'd let Peterman go in before Allen. He needs a lot of time before he's ready, and Buffalo's skill players is basically a graveyard of talent minus a 30 year old Shady McCoy. So, in the right situation, yes I think he could, but I think his max is a top 15 QB. In my opinion though it doesn't happen that way and Josh Allen becomes more of a "what if" than a "remember when" kind of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best supporting cast cant make up for a terrible QB. They need to make sure w/e is developing him is bringing him along right. But yes make sure he has the supporting cast too.

His accuracy issues and supposed difficulties reading defenses scares me a lot. I hope you're right, tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groink Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I wanna see him succeed. With that physical ability he would be fun to watch. I'm excited to see how he comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
